Andrew looked at him and smiled slightly, giving a serious reminder.
"One of us must marry her. Firstly, if she becomes part of the Steele Group, she will help us dispose of the eco-friendly building materials. Secondly, it can ruin the relationship between Grand Group and Harper Group. So, do you want her as your wife or as your sister-in-law?"
Grand Group, Harper Group, wife, sister-in-law.
Bella's arrogant demeanor...
Thinking about all this, Michael shook his head and took a few steps back in a hurry.
"No, I can't do it. I think it's better if..."
At this point, sweating profusely, Michael quickly ran out.
Andrew shouted at the door, "Useless!"
Turning around, he looked at Bella with a creepy smile.
Andrew approached step by step, his hand gliding over Bella, strange colors appearing in his eyes.
He had thought that today, when he visited Grand Group, he would meet Ethan, so he dressed extra carefully. But he did not expect...
"Bella, your Harper Group joining forces with Grand Group caused me heavy losses. This time, I will make you pay the price and ensure that you can never cooperate again."
Dreaming of becoming the wife of the CEO of Grand Group. What a dream.
You'd better obediently become a member of our Steele family. With Harper Group and Steele Group joining forces, we can deal with Grand Group and have a glimmer of hope.
Andrew's face turned indifferent.
Bella only opened her eyes slightly, feeling dizzy and weak, and then closed them again.
"Sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up."
In her dreamy sleep, Bella felt her body burning, as if someone was pouncing on her. She wanted to see who it was.
But the more she tried to open her eyes, the more tired she felt, unable to lift her eyelids.
After a moment, her body seemed to be torn apart, and the excruciating pain made her slightly open her eyes.
"Don't rush, it's not time yet. What are you screaming for?"
Bella felt like she was on the verge of collapse, her body still weak. The more she struggled, the more forced it seemed.
Even the tone of her "get lost" became very gentle, making her feel embarrassed just hearing it.
Andrew firmly held her down, his actions showing no signs of stopping.
Bella had no strength left, tears streaming down her face while Ethan's image filled her mind.
She knew deep down that from now on, there would be no hope. The image of Ethan in her mind gradually blurred into a dot.
"You can cry if you want, I don't care. As long as you belong to me, it's enough. Charles, Let me see how you suppress me after seeing this, hahaha."
Finally, it was over. Andrew left her and went to the bathroom.
Amelia slowly sat up, the bright red on the pristine sheets standing out.
"Sophia, Ethan, it's all because of you. It's all because of you."
Bella said each word, her heart bleeding. She clenched the white sheets tightly.
After a moment, a group of reporters barged in. Bella's face turned pale with an unpleasant expression as she stared at them intensely.
"Get out, all of you!"
"Why is it Miss Harper from the Harper family? Wasn't she rumored to be Mr. Andrew Steele's girlfriend? How can she be Miss Harper?"
"Perhaps his girlfriend is Miss Harper? What about Mr. Andrew Steele?"
The reporters hurriedly searched through the room, opening the door to the bathroom where the man protagonist had been.
Andrew walked out calmly, surprising the group of reporters, then coldly smirked.
"Bella, if you wanted to become a member of the Steele family, you could have just said so. Why bother involving these dog reporters?"
Andrew's words left the reporters startled, but he remained calm and composed.
"Mr. Andrew Steele, we heard that your girlfriend is Miss Harper, is that true?"
Andrew didn't refute it and nodded with a smug expression. "That's right. I didn't expect such a secret matter to be discovered by you."
"Mr. Andrew Steele, will you marry Miss Harper?"
"Of course, otherwise, who in Keadow would dare to have her? She has been with me for a long time. I won't let her suffer. I will give her the identity of Mrs. Steele."
Andrew spoke clearly, leaving Bella pale and trembling, unsure of what to do.
"Mr. Andrew Steele, is it because..."
"That's enough. I've said what needs to be said. You can all leave now! Get out!"
Andrew pushed the reporters out, closed the door, and walked up to the bed, staring harshly at Bella.
"What's the deal with these reporters? You're quite extraordinary, wanting everyone to know even after being raped. Are you afraid I won't take responsibility?"
Bella charged towards him like a madwoman and fiercely slapped Andrew twice.
"You bastard! Go away! Leave!"
In response, Andrew slapped her back, violently pushing her to the ground.
"You crazy woman! If you want to live a peaceful life, then behave!"
After saying this, Andrew quickly got dressed, touched his face, put on sunglasses, and walked out of the room.
The reporters were still waiting outside the door, chasing after him with questions. Andrew didn't look back, left Chinchol Manor, went straight to the car, and drove away.
Bella hastily got dressed, without time for careful grooming, and fled through the back door of Chinchol Manor.
Once inside the car, not knowing where to go, she drove fast, her face pale and hands trembling.
Sophia, Ethan, I will make you pay for everything that happened to me today.
Looking at her trembling hands gripping the steering wheel, fear overwhelmed her.
"Bang!"
A loud noise echoed as the car collided with the roadside railing, shattering the window glass on the ground... Bella fainted.
The person following closely behind quickly ran over, picked her up, and rushed her to the hospital.
...
"How could this happen?"
Mr. and Mrs. Charles received the news and were shocked.
She said she would become the wife of Grand Group's CEO, so how could she have any secret relationship with Andrew? How did they get caught by the reporters?"
"Our daughter has been framed. It must be Andrew, the Steele family... it's Amelia's ghost, it's..."
Delilah's face looked incredibly grim as she stared into space, muttering to herself.
